Could AIs be used to balance County Imbalance?

Okay, I am done..... mostly because I like the folks that seem to disagree with my views, much more than I enjoy getting my point across.......... 

Not to worry, Chilli.  I don't think any of the objectors have actually encountered the HTC drones.

I've encountered a few. SOBs kicked my arse.

The day that you tell HTC how to run their company, maybe it should end.........  geez, no room for any discussion huh?

HTC can do whatever they want but if I'm going to play against AI I can buy a boxed game for a lot less than paying for an AW/AH subscription for 18 years.

Yeah, let it go Chilli. It's not worth it. The future of AI isn't in the MA anyway. It can't use the custom terrains with custom briefing rooms and briefings, sound effects etc that really make the system kickazz.

I think the AI's have their times and places.  I'd love to see them setup in the TA, in a certain area where they could shot down and shoot you down.  And also can have their skill level be pre-set.  It would could be a great learning tool and a good way to judge a players increase in proficiency.  But... please get rid of the murderous invisible AI with tracers off .... I hate that guy.

No worries, Chilli.  I like you back!    And I don't dislike discussions or when someone has a different point of view.  So, please don't leave any discussion on my account. <S>

AI's in a training area seem like they might be fine.

Now Skuzzy see!  That is how the BBs should work  Brooke (and no, the like was in general for those in this post as well... another  )  I have had too many good times with you, to make this place any different    Good discussion, OP congratulations.

Another positive aspect to AI is it could equalize some of the gameness.  "Huh, equalize gaminess with gamey AI players!"  Yep.

In addition to countering unchallanged milk-runners...

I observed one player that is VERY focused on score during a low player numbers time.  First he de-ACKed the town in his LA7.  Then using an M4 with rockets drove into town. First he used the rockets at point blank range then gun (unchallenged in any way) to down the town to white flag.  He then brought a goon.  When I could participate (was on a call) I upped a plane and shot that goon down and kept CAP until he gave up on that base.

Made me wonder how many times he and others do this.  Seems like just a few AI opponents here could go a long way.  


EDIT: My statement that this player is very focused on score is fact.  Over seeing him do this and other similar tactics for years.  He tends to finish in the top 10 if not 1st some times.  Not gonna name names.  Just mentioning this as an abuse that is SCORE driven.

+ all the 1's to this. AI to fight and practice against in the TA would be a massive help to newer players!

......... and we are all sure that there is not the occasional AI in the MA?

You can tell the AI by the CPID. The new format being used is famous battle names (ie: Midway).

[SirNuke]

I fought the IA a couple times in the MA back when TOD was in development, a Hurri2C with 10% less overall weight is a scary thing  I believe the terror it inspired gave birth to legend of "cheaters that edit their files to have a lighter plane" in the bishop's collective memory
